Forgotten as usual. 😉

Debt is not a force of nature. Money is owed to someone.

In the Netherlands we have wooncorporatie, which are non-profit home rental companies. I think it’s a reasonable model, although the center right government tried to get rid of them for years. (Now we have a coalition of far-right parties in power, and they don’t even have anything like a consistent ideology much less policy so who can know what the future brings?)

In spite of their persecution complex, Christianity is the largest religion by population worldwide and in many countries. Understanding the way they think can be useful in dealing with them.

In the eternal words of Bob Marley:

Some people think

Great God will come from the sky

Take away everything

And make everybody feel high

But if you know what life is worth

You will look for yours on earth

And now we see the light

We’re going to stand up for our right

I looked a few years ago when a friend of my partner got a Tesla a few years ago. Picking a color cost like €2000 or so.

Yeah this is what the Republicans failed to understand is that elections are there to convince the losers to step aside… without a bloody civil war. All of Trump’s election denialism basically ensures bloodshed. 😔

Fixed that for you:

Capitalization Breeds Innovation

I feel personally attacked.

I don’t think that you’ll get scurvy in the 3 days of this diet. 😆🍋

I can understand the confusion. Dutch does combine words, but not normally with the enthusiasm of German. So seeing verkiezingbijeenkomst in the caption might have confused you. 😉

I wish people would stop conflating energy with electricity.

So Germany had ⅔ of it’s electricity from renewables, but still has gas for warming homes, petrol for cars, diesel for trucks, and so on.

Stock options and grants are a tool to trick you into accepting lower pay and conflating your interests with those of the capital class. (Speaking as someone who has received both!)

From the study:

Between 2015 and 2019, following discussions between public sector employers and trade unions, Iceland saw two major public sector trials of a shorter working week for no loss in pay.

The article is unclear, but the introduction on the study says:
